Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor device with more scale reduction and without restriction of arrangement of connection pads for preventing them from being covered is obtained. The semiconductor device has first and second semiconductor chips stacked on a substrate, wherein a connection pad of the first semiconductor chip faces the substrate, and the first and second semiconductor chips are both connected to input/output terminals of the substrate by means of wires.
